"Dans Le Tramway" (1890) by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen depicts a cross-section of Parisian society riding the tramway. The painting captures the everyday lives of people from all walks of life, from the well-dressed woman in a feathered hat to the working-class man in a simple coat. Steinlen's use of muted colors and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of realism and intimacy, highlighting the social and economic realities of the time. The work is a classic example of Steinlen's "fin de siècle" style, which often depicted the struggles and anxieties of modern urban life.
